In the middle

ABSTRACT

In the middle starts when the player makes the initial bet to start the game. The dealer then deals to all players in the game two (2) cards face up in each of the players positions. The dealer then deals one (1) card to himself face up in the center of the table in front of the dealer. The dealer then goes hand to hand from right to left paying the winning hands, if the casino card falls between the player&#39;s cards or taking the losers, if the casino card does not fall between the two (2) player&#39;s cards. The cards are then picked up from the table and put in a designated discard area and the game starts over by the players making the initial bet to start the game.
